So ive had an 11 pro since launch. great phone. i plan on using it while i stream on a charging stand running stream deck mobile macro pad app. but then i realized its just going to be on for hours showing mostly the same static icons. and its an OLED screen. should i be worried?
 
Probably not. Apple has done a pretty good job with their OLED displays to prevent burn in. It's definitely possible but burn in has not been a complaint about the 2.5 year old iPhone X, so you're probably okay.
 
I would turn down the display brightness if it’s not an issue. Bright static imagery is the worst offender when it comes to burn in.
 
I wouldn't use an OLED iPhone for this. I have a friend who is an iOS developer, at his previous job they had an iPhone X that spend hours a day with a static image displayed. After several months the screen had really strong burn-in.
